command arrives at the intended destination (door lock). Although only those devices in the network path (from the
controller to the specific end device) MUST support beaming. However, to avoid troubleshooting and provide a more
reliable mesh network, we recommend only using devices that support beaming in networks that include battery pow-
ered Z-Wave devices (such as door locks).
Association
: Associations allow Z-Wave transmitter source ("secondary") devices (such as certain model motion
detectors, wall switches and dimmers) to send commands
directly
to other target ("master") Z-Wave devices (such as
lamp modules and appliance modules wired to the electrical load). For example, at the bottom of a staircase, a bat-
tery powered Z-Wave dimmer "secondary/source" device is associated with a "target/master" Z-Wave dimmer at the
top of the staircase that is wired to a ceiling fixture. In order to create associations, devices at both ends of the asso-
ciation must be designed by the manufacturer to support Associations (devices are usually labeled "Supports Z-
Wave associations").
Replication
: Refers to the protocol replication between Controllers that is used to exchange protocol repli-
cation data between different Controllers within the same network. The app
Learn
button is used when you wish to
add the StarLink Connect Controller to another network as a Secondary Controller or to another network as a Prima-
ry Controller. In either case, the StarLink Connect Controller receives "protocol replication data" from the Primary
Controller of the other network.
Note:
Z-Wave device designs can vary, including the name and location of its "Learn" button; see the documentation
for the specific device you wish to include (or associate) to ensure correct operation.
SECURITY WARNING:
If you create a Scene or Event that involves arming the alarm control panel and the sys-
tem is configured to use the Napco "Classic" keypad style, then ensure the User Code entered into the Scene or Event
configuration screens is an "ARM ONLY" Code. If not, subsequent activation of the Scene or Event will disarm the alarm
panel.
